Shan said on 5/May/205'7 barefoot, maybe 5'6 3/4. Kim is between 5'1 and 5'2 1/2 barefoot.
British singer Estelle referred to Kanye West as a 5-foot-seven-guy in their duet "American Boy".

Canson said on 11/Feb/20Maybe my wife’s height 5’7.75

Oh said on 10/Feb/20Starting to guess if he’s actually 5’8. Recent Oscar picture with Kim seems to be just an inch shorter. If Kim is 5’2 and let’s suppose she’s wearing 5 inch heels that takes her to 5’7 Kanye still should be taller than her barefoot but even with the shoes he’s wearing in that pic he hardly looks an inch taller Click Here

Nik Ashton said on 27/Jan/20This dude kan pull it off!

Bryant said on 14/Jan/20Dude is 5'7 in shoes. If he ever appears taller it's because he's wearing his own shoes and is wearing some sort of lifts. Kim kardashian is 5'3.. No matter what footwear she's wearing an averaged height man would always tower over her. He rarely does.

Wraith talk said on 10/Jan/20I saw his "Heartless" Performance In 2008. And he looked 6'2

Fort Lytton said on 7/Nov/19He is almost exactly 5 feet 7 and a half. And that's definitive.

Z. said on 31/Oct/19@bff
James Corden isn't 5'6.5

Two Words said on 29/Oct/19Rob, do you think out of all the shorter people on this site, Kanye is the one people "look up to" the most?

Editor Rob

He's got a lot of influence for sure, he has a lot of fans...but probably a fair share of haters too.

bff said on 28/Oct/19Definitely a short dude (and overrated), but I guess he's taller than I expected after a recent photo with James Corden who's about 5' 6.5". I'd pegged Kanye at 5' 5" or less.

dio21 said on 27/Oct/19I love how many people saw Kanye West everyday here (just like with every celebrities). I just don't understand why dont you take pictures?:D I can say anything like that. Once I saw kanye west from 8 meters and I'm sure he was 6'2.

truthteller25 said on 26/Oct/19I think Kanye is a full inch over what the average guess for him is. I am not a super fan but it's hard for me to see him at 5'7.77 this would make Cudi like 5'6.5-5'7 and I think Cudi is 5'7.5-5'8 because Kanye is obviously taller.

Peter17 said on 17/Sep/19Rob, here are very recent images and a video of Kanye and DJ Khaled together (both wearing thick sole sneakers)Click HereClick Here

Kanye seemed same height and even shorter than the 5’6”(169cm) listed DJ Khaled, what do you think is more likely between Kanye being eligible for a downgrade to 5’7” flat or Khaled for an upgrade to 5’8” Rob?

Editor Rob

In the clip Kayne looked taller, but I could see how it might not seem more than an inch

James E said on 5/Jun/19He’s 5’7 might even be 5’6. I know A LOT of people who have met him in person and stated either of the two heights. He’s probably 5’8 in his 2inch heel boots he likes to wear...

William_O'Jell said on 14/Apr/19Much smaller than I anticipated. No wonder he doesn't like Drake who is basically a 6 footer.

KanteEast said on 12/Oct/18Didn’t Estelle sing about him being 5ft 7.. and just her type though 🤔

Robby Harris said on 7/Oct/18Kanye does often look 174 cm range. Hard to imagine him at just 5'8" flat when we see him next to guys like Mike Tyson, Usher or Mike Myers.

Big T said on 29/Sep/18Just saw a promo for an upcoming SNL with Kanye, Kenan Thompson and Adam Driver. Kanye is taller than Kenan and certainly less than 6” shorter than Driver.

Tod Charming said on 30/Aug/18His confidence makes him appear much taller than he really is. I would have guessed 6 feet. But in reality, he's actually 5'8!

Peter175 said on 22/Aug/18Well Robby Harris, there are exacts of everything. Kanye has never looked below 5'8 so I think you can say he's 5'8-5'8.25 or 1/8th.

Either way its rob's site and he can choose to use smaller decimals even if its not detectable to most people.

He gets 5'8.25 from me

Ethan-5'7.25 said on 14/Jul/18Legit 5’8 man good listing Rob.

Christian-6'5 3/8" said on 26/May/18@Robby Harris

You made a fantastic point, I couldn't agree more.

Robby Harris said on 24/May/18@Peter175: Lol, it wouldn't be remotely detectable to spot whether he's exactly 5'8" on the mark or 1/8" above it. Plus it wouldn't matter. Not everyone lands exactly on a rounded height - in fact, most people don't. 5'8 1/8" is still pretty much 5'8", just like 5'7.9" is!

For Rob, such a listing works because he's the owner of the site and goes to conventions for the very purpose of it. Plus he's also shown us his measured height countless times through photos and videos - so we all know his height down to the millimetre. Unlike the celebs on here where we get at worst a reasonable rough estimate, or at best a measured figure (time of measurement would come into question) that correlates with how tall they generally look - unless undeniably measured by Rob himself (sans Glenn, who played sneaky height tricks on Rob!)

Peter175 said on 21/May/18Rob, is Kanye eligible for a 1/8 upgrade? He's definitely close to your height I'd say. one of the stronger 5ft8 guys

Editor Rob

He could be one of those guys like myself just a little over 5ft 8.

Sandy Cowell said on 9/May/18That his wife, Kim K, is 5ft2.5 is much to his advantage! I always felt he was taller, ever since I was first enlightened of his existence via an episode of 'South Park'!

Kanye gets 5ft8!

bledham said on 12/Mar/18172.7 is actually 5.7 9/10 take off the 9/10 and you get 5'7 I've seen the guy the next to celebrities I have seen or know in person and I'm actually certain he's a little bit under 5'7 maybe 5'6 7/8 but that's being extremely technical. Estelle knew what she was talking about.

Jake94 (5'9 said on 24/Jan/18Good example of a weak 5'8" IMO.

bruh said on 6/Jan/18kanye is not an overrated musician you degenerate

anna said on 15/Nov/17there seems to be a height difference of 13 cm on that photo with Kim - 10cm of high heels will make Kim not 157cm but more like 150 if we add 5 cm to kanye's footwear ? and thats generous!

Slim 184 said on 3/Nov/17171 area, such an overrated musician.

Tallish89 said on 6/Oct/17Lift wearer

Slim said on 20/Sep/175'7.5" is closer to the truth.

Warren said on 13/Sep/17He truly has 172-173cm range, and has nice proportion

Tom Colton said on 28/Aug/17In a picture with conor mcgregors dad is exactly the same height. Then conor with his dad, noticeable height difference. So logically 1 to 2 inches shorter than conor mcgregor, kanye is 5ft 7 to 5ft 7.5 legit.

Jani said on 12/Aug/17Kanye looks like somewhere 172-173cm.

Phil said on 10/Aug/17He could be wearing lifts with those boots he wears and he could be at least 4 inches taller than his real height. I'd say 5'8 barefoot is accurate.

Peter175 said on 8/Aug/17I can believe anywhere from 173-174. Definitely not 5'7" range

KH said on 7/Aug/17Not sure there is much noticeable between West and Cruise in those photos and in some Tom looks about the same height and we can't see the footwear. Flat 5'8 is good for him. Wouldn't go taller myself.

Brad said on 19/Jul/17As listed.

Lollllll said on 1/Jul/17Estelle calls him 5" 7 in American Boy

lol said on 29/Jun/17i guess you have a point. I'd say he's 5'7 1/2 to 5'8. Just a few inches short of average.

just funny how his height is immortalized as 5'7

Tallish89 said on 15/May/17I have noticed he appears taller last couple of years

Editor Rob: silly websites and Google never even checked what the guy himself said?

you can also see him with Chris Rock and Terrence, around 5ft 9 might be fair...he actually claimed 5ft 10, so it goes to show you should never blindly copy info from other sites ;)
I think he is a little further from kanye, so he could be between 5ft 9-10, certainly isn't over 5ft 10, because that's what he claims...

Cameron said on 9/Apr/17Yeah I think he is just under 5'8". Although he does have a somewhat stocky build which might make him look shorter so idk.

I'm 5'8.5" short said on 23/Mar/17He's 5'7.5" (171 cm). Kim being so short makes him look in the 5'9 range at times

Harris said on 22/Mar/17Nope. Not convinced at all. If Kanye let her describe him as 5'7" in that song, then that's the tallest he is. We all know that Kanye is the type of guy that would upgrade his height, rather than downgrade!

Heyja said on 13/Mar/17Kanye has been photographed on a thousand red carpets in dozens of kinds of footwear. If there's any male celeb Rob can nail from a distance, it's gonna be him.

Estelle probably used seven because it's two syllables, and Kanye probably didn't care because the whole song is about him being a boss.

Mathew Robinson said on 12/Mar/17ArthurJohn said on 14/Nov/16
I've seen his wax figure at Tussaud's a few years ago, and I remember him looking a weak 5'8". I think 172 cm is a better fit for him.

Why did Estelle refer to him as 5'7" in 'American Boy'? That would be a considerable downgrade if you ask me. Would someone with as big of an ego as Kanye West allow someone to declare him shorter than he actually is...on his own record? Its doubtful to say the least.

---

I've wondered the same thing. If he was really 5'8" would he have himself described as 5'7" in his own song? Given what they say about his ego, it sounds like even he thinks he's really 5'7".

Dr JJ said on 20/Feb/17Interestingly saw a picture of him walking in the street with Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble. There was not a great deal of height difference between West and Gamble. However, the previous week, Gamble was pictured strolling with Bieber, and the Biebs was dwarved by Gamble. Just an observation.

Nova176 said on 17/Feb/17If Kanye is sub5'8 rob would literally have to change nearly every height on this site.

Kanye is a staple and constant 5'8. A bit below average but not really short

Nova176 said on 12/Feb/17Doing 5'8 justice.

Looks a decent bit taller than 171-172 Tom cruise

John Connor said on 6/Feb/17Solid 5"8 guy but can appear shorter at times. Rob how tall do you think Prince EA is bearfoot judging by this video clip Click Here

Editor Rob: proportionally he could pull off 5ft 10-11, but I don't really know the guy, that's the first time I heard him actually!

A 171cm male said on 2/Jan/17Looks about right 5'8"

Bou said on 1/Jan/17Definitely upper 5'8". He never looks short even next to 6 footers.

Ssn said on 26/Dec/16Hey rob i think he is 5"9 as i just saw kylie Jenner's story on snapchat about christmas gifts where kendal jenner run past him and they both(kanye and kendal) looks exactly of same height though she was barefeet and kanye was wearing sneakers. What is your thought upon this. Can u find that video and check it just to get his correct heigt. Thanks

houla said on 14/Dec/16are you sure he is 173cm? he never looks short on tv beside other people and a lot taller than KK even with platforms. 5'10?

ArthurJohn said on 14/Nov/16I've seen his wax figure at Tussaud's a few years ago, and I remember him looking a weak 5'8". I think 172 cm is a better fit for him.

Why did Estelle refer to him as 5'7" in 'American Boy'? That would be a considerable downgrade if you ask me. Would someone with as big of an ego as Kanye West allow someone to declare him shorter than he actually is...on his own record? Its doubtful to say the least.

truth said on 18/Oct/16Yes I am about 177-178 cm at my lowest. Anyway it is nothing personal, Kanye is about 172-173 cm and there is nothing wrong about it.

Leonardo 1.73m said on 12/Oct/16@truth Shorter side? Are you 177cm and you say about 5'8 is short/very short? Poor...

truth said on 4/Oct/16@Leo 5'8 Why? 5'8 is on the shorter side in the western world with a majority of the white population since the average is about 5'9-5'10. I am just stating the obvious measured and easily observable facts. There is nothing wrong with being below average height or any height for that matter. Also it's "man" not "men".

Ken Baggins said on 20/Sep/16Lil Yachty must be 6ft 0in standing next to him

Adamz said on 19/Sep/16173cm looks ok for Kanye.

mike said on 29/Aug/16Kanye doesn't look a full 5'8, 172cm i think is a more solid listing

Leo 5'8 said on 16/Jul/16@truth
Men you has several problems

Mathew Robinson (190 cm) said on 12/Jul/16Allie said on 13/Sep/15
Just gonna point this out, in Estelle's song "American Boy", she and Kanye play lovers in the song and Estelle describes him as 5'7 :).

---

Yes, and it's tough to imagine that Kanye would let her use that line if he was really 5'8".

truth said on 22/May/16He is just about 5ft8/173cm or slightly shorter than that (probably 5ft7.75/172cm). Always struck me as a below average but not really that short.

Alxr37 said on 5/May/16He's probably not shorter than 5'8

jerald Weing said on 5/May/16He's about a 5'6"-5'7" guy.

Celebheights 6'1.75 said on 13/Apr/16I've met him a few years ago, and I originally thought that he was like 5'2" from very far away due to his short legs. Up close he was somewhere in the 5'8"-5'8 1/2" range.

TJE said on 14/Mar/16Rob, would 8.25 be possible?

FM said on 27/Feb/16As others have said, I doubts he's over 5'7" by much,if at all - as the Estelle, "American Boy" states.

Check out this pic with Paul McCartney, listed at 5'9.5". Paul may have a little extra help in his shoe, but Kanye definitely does. Paul looks close to 2inches taller if he stands straight, at least with both in their foot ware.

S.J.H said on 13/Feb/16No way Kenya was 5'9 but 5'8 is way accurate to believe

joe said on 12/Feb/16By all accounts, he is 5'7" which is about 4 inches below average for young men today. Since everyone shrinks as they get older, he will probably settle down to about 5'4" eventually.

will said on 31/Jan/16I've met Kanye once at a album release party, years ago. I'm 5'9 1/2 stood next too him we were the same height, as far as shoes we both had on boots. I will admit his were a little bulkier. Still he's a 5'8 too 5'9 guy for sure.

Trump said on 10/Dec/15All you have to do is go to that restaurant where he hit his head on that sign. Where he was holding his head is the point of impact. Bring a tape measure.

mrtguy said on 26/Nov/15Rob, you would edge kanye in person

Editor Rob: I would think we would be very close

James Edward Crowley Maximus Meridius said on 4/Nov/15Rob Kanye West looks about 5ft 9.75in 5ft 10in in that picture was he wearing Elevator shoes.

[Editor Rob: I don't think they look suspicious or bulky.

But then it's the sneaky half or 3/4 inch lifts that are hard to spot.
]

Michael said on 17/Sep/155'8" give or take 0.5 inches.

Allie said on 13/Sep/15Just gonna point this out, in Estelle's song "American Boy", she and Kanye play lovers in the song and Estelle describes him as 5'7 :).

MD said on 3/Sep/15@Jacko,

There is no way you "dwarfed" him at 5'10". There are plenty of pictures on him standing on the stage with John Legend and Big Sean at the VMA's for an award they won collectively. With no footwear advantage, he was visibly taller than Sean and looked at least as tall as Legend (who is probably listed too tall, here, BTW). I used to think he was probably shorter than this listing, but he routinely looks 5'8", and certainly not 5'6", which would put Big Sean down in the 5'4"s.

I was a little surprised, myself, but he easily holds up against other guys who claim 5'8". BTW, I think Rob definitely needs to re-evaluate Big Sean's height (shave off the half-inch) and maybe take a look at John Legend, too. He's about the weakest 5'9" I've seen.

Jacko said on 30/Aug/15I've met Kanye. I'm 5'10" and I dwarfed him. There is NO WAY he is even a hair over 5'6"! None!

Jon said on 11/Jul/15What would you say his weight and head size is Rob? By the way did you see my Chadwick Boseman question?

[Editor Rob: it looks (like chad's) within average range for their height, I think near 160 for kanye is possible.]

jess said on 12/Jun/15he looks to be an average 5'8"- he's not tall but he is still taller than a lot of other singers/rappers.

Ocean said on 9/Jun/15I seen him in real life no lie he's 5'6.5-5'7 maximum im 5'11 and I had at least 4-5 inches on him. These people lie about there hight all the time. We'll never mind I hope he's 5'8 that make me 6 and half easy lol

Sonny Black said on 1/Jun/15Given his ego, it probably kills him that he's of average height.

G said on 26/May/15He can look 5'9.5 or 5'10 sometimes, but with its elevators. He is taller than Myers, then it should be 5'8. Another male celebrity who wants to look 5'10, and a big idiot.

Blink_284 said on 4/May/15Seen him next to Jay-Z and 5'8 and seems about right. I'm about 5'8 myself. As for the Holland discussion: I live there and I don't think people are that much taller here on average, compared to other countries in the west. US average is about 5'10 I've heard. Here it's maybe 5'11 or slightly above, however there are quite a few people who are above that hight (6'2 or taller). I see plenty of men my hight daily, so no not everyone is (freakishly) tall in this country :)

b-mint1994 said on 9/Apr/15Legit 5'8". Looks taller than Big Sean and quite a bit taller than Mike Myers.

Wesley said on 26/Mar/15Should be 5'7.5

TJE said on 11/Mar/15Definitely a 5'8 range guy.

guest said on 3/Mar/15he probably wears lifts,

N said on 26/Feb/15He looks about 5'10 to me, anybody else? Standing next to jay whos 6'1 he looks only three inches shorter

kanye said on 20/Feb/15abuot 5'9''

Chiqita said on 18/Jan/15wow Jay Z is 6 inches taller. He might wear lifts if he is that short for a man.

Editor Rob said on 11/Aug/14You can see Kanye again with big MikeClick Here

Jon said on 11/Aug/14@theshredder Yeah, I always thought he was around 5'10. I trust Rob's judgement more than my own though, so I'm going with 5'8. A great musician by the way, even if he's a little arrogant. I love his newer stuff like MBDTF and Yeezus.

the shredder said on 9/Aug/14If anything he is over 5'8 , he looked 5'9 with mike myers

fsd said on 4/Aug/14no way he's 5'8 he's between 5'7 - 5'6 ft a friend of mine who's a flat 5'8 saw him in hakkasan mayfair 5 months ago he had give or take 1 or two inches on him .

steffff said on 27/Jul/14There it is again: Another 5'8" celeb who tries to look 5'10", while everyone on this website tries to downvote him to 5'6". I love reading comments on 5'8" celebs heights!

Really though, Kanye is a solid 5'8". He has relatively long legs so he also sometimes appears to be taller.

Joe said on 12/Jul/14@wow: I don't care about his brain, you might hate him, but that won't stop his fans listening to him. We are talking about his height here.

wow said on 8/Jul/14Kanye is 5'7 those of you that have problems looking at pictures or video look closer .Kanye stands not to much taller than Kim whose also hobbit sized so there is no way in heck he could be 5'8 or 5'9 when Kim who also lies and says she's 5'3 is a little bit shorter than him.If Kanye was 5'8 or 5'9 Kim would be about 5'5 and no way is she that tall.Alot of celebs lie about their heights and weights to make themselves look better but pictures don't lie.Kanye is more like 5'6 or 5'7 max he's not taller than that his brain is peanut sized as well.

Joe said on 31/May/14@Earl: Jay is 6'1, he might be mentioned 6'1.5 here but that guy is no more than 6'1.

5'8.5'' guy said on 24/May/14ive met kanye before and the top of his head was at my eye level. dude is 5'6ish.

hamm said on 20/May/14I think is about 170 cm.

temest said on 18/May/145'6" to 5'7". Regardless, he's a very small human being in more ways than one.

Mathew said on 16/May/14Jay Z is 6'1" range. Kanye is 5'7" tops.

Mathew said on 3/May/14He's 5'7" as in the lyric in his song American Boy. The woman sings "I just met this 5 foot 7 guy who's just my type." Don't think he'd have that lyric in there if he was 5'8".

Earl said on 20/Apr/14@Adam Jay is 6'2 though

Adam said on 1/Apr/14Rob he can't be 5'8, it's not possible. Look at this: Click Here

James Richardson said on 15/Mar/14He's like 5'6.

fsd said on 8/Mar/14kanyeis 5'7 ft he mentioned it in his song american boy .
there is a 5 inch diff kim"5'2ft" is wearing 3 inch heels =5'5ft kanye "5'7ft" wearin 1 inch loafer Click Here

MD said on 9/Jan/14Not too many men would look short next to a 5'2" female. Given that we closely nail down heighs, here, seems pretty silly to give a two-inch range of height that just so happens to be one either side of the listed height, BTW. Probably would be nice to offer something of value to the discussion, you know, besides making obvious observations.

heigth said on 7/Jan/145'7-5'9 zone he dont look that short next to 5'2 kim

rrmar said on 22/Dec/13My cousin used to be a dancer for Love Barnett on one of her dance shows. Barnett has been in numerous rap videos. I went to one of the shows and Kanye was there and I stood right next to him and had a quick conversation with him..I'm a solid 5'9 and he was at least a inch or 2 shorter then me...

heigth said on 20/Dec/13he is denfentivly not 5'6 i really would like to know how tall he is beacuse in photos wit kim k (5'2) with heels on wich gives her an extra 3-4 inches he looks at least 4 inches taller than her! i would say 5'8 - 5'10 nothing more! and btw jay z IS not only 6 foot he is like 6'1-6'2

lol said on 29/Nov/13kanyes no taller than 5"8 MAX he looks 5"9 in timberlands

growtallerguru said on 21/Nov/13he looks 5'7" next to Jay-Z who looks 6'even next to 5'10.5" Justin Timberlake honestly.

KID Authentic said on 27/Oct/13To me, Kanye looks like he ranges from 5'7 to 5'9. I'm taller than him because my doctor stated that I am 5'10(177.5-1.79)

Dr JJ said on 26/Oct/135'6". That's it.

thomas said on 22/Oct/13@thedutchguy OMG I totally agree with you I'm 179cm (5'10) barefeet but I fell so short. I don't know if it's just in my head when I wear my favorite hiking shoes I'm 6 feet for sure and people tell me I'm pretty tall but I still fell small:( I guess I have tall friends:)

6'1" barefoot said on 18/Oct/13conyeezy it's cool ur taller than kanye we all get it bro..you actually went as far as to right a whole thesis on your interpretation. kanye has short legs if his legs were longer he's be lucky at average height. but he grew disproportionately. I had size 12 shoes in 7th grade and was 5'9" barefoot. Measured by the dumb P.E. coaches year later I was 5'11" barefoot in 8th grade. My ape index was +5 or 6'4" in length. people grow differently some do some don't maybe you'll grow if you eat and compete in sports it's a fact that if your testosterone is high you can become a freak like lebron if it's low you'll have alot of estrogen and be soft and have no ballz. Trust me eat, lift, sleep and you'll grow as tall as Lebron and maybe if your lucky you'll be half as strong as him.

the shredder said on 16/Oct/135'8 minimum , I give him 5'9.

MD said on 15/Oct/13There is no way he's under 5'7" barefoot. He genuinely and consistently looks taller than the 5'5"-5'6" rappers mentioned. Maybe he's more around 5'7.5", but the anything under 5'7" barefoot isn't realistic.

MD said on 11/Oct/13Rob,

Can you delete that the comment by Roscoe on 9/Oct/13? It's completely inappropriate, and he'd thought he'd slip it by you by taking off the first letter. Thanks.

heightobsessed said on 10/Oct/13he looks closer to 5'7

TheEnd said on 3/Oct/13as Hoops.. a real man said below! Bill O'reilly said he was in the same elevator with Kanye & his 2 body guards. He said ("Kanye was 5'6" and the body guards were 6'5"...and I'm 6'4".")

Im 5'7 said on 2/Oct/13Why does everyone always have to make it about "small man syndrome?" Why can't it just be "Kanye West is an *******?" Why do people hate small men so much?

Cnut the Great said on 27/Sep/13i agree 5'7".... he is also very annoying.. i agree with the small man syndrome thing.. how small do you have to be to qualify for small man syndrome

Ryan said on 24/Sep/13He's at most 5'7 and has a bad case of small man syndrome.

Dr JJ said on 21/Sep/13His ego is so big, he isn't worried about height!

Mathew said on 1/Sep/136 ft 8 says on 14/Aug/13
In "American Boy" it says he is 5'7

---

Yes, and given his ego there's little chance he would downgrade himself. 5'7" he is.

6 ft 8 said on 14/Aug/13In "American Boy" it says he is 5'7

hi said on 11/Aug/13i doubth that he is just 5´7 Feet cuz i saw one picture of him and lil Gay
and kanye west was like 1,5 head taller than wayne!as i know lil wayne is 1,64 cm i think kanye is about lets say 1,77 - 178

SAK said on 2/Aug/13pockynon says: I saw him at LaGuardia airport and he is a shrimp - both in height and physique. There is no way that he is 5-9 like his bio says.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can totally imagine this. And I bet Kanye wanted to be a huge guy. Too bad.

pockynon said on 31/Jul/13I saw him at LaGuardia airport and he is a shrimp - both in height and physique. There is no way that he is 5-9 like his bio says.

hoops ... a real man!! said on 23/Jul/13I've been a basketball coach for 30 years. I can look at any man and tell you within 1/2 inch how tall he is. West is 5'6"-5'7" at the most. He weighs about 130 pounds. Think about this ... he's a smaller man than Bieber in size, but a much smaller man in character than most men. He proves that every day by picking on little cameramen. Ha! I'd like to challenge him to a 3 minute round in the ring for $1 million. I'm 70 years old and I'd kick his little wimp ass!!

Mike T said on 9/Jul/135'6" at the least but nothing more than 5'7"

truth178cm said on 3/Jul/13Dutch average 5ft11-6ft

Tom said on 1/Jul/13Anything beyond 5'7" is ridiculous. Probably a weak 5'7".

Mathew said on 28/Jun/13He's 5'7", it's even in a song. No way this guy downgrades himself.

Cingetrorix said on 28/Jun/13I'd say 5'7.
On the dutch thing, definitely not a 'stereotype'. The official average is like 6' or 6'1 I believe. But being a Scotsman who is often in holland for long periods of time, I have to say when I'm wearing boots I'm 5'10 or 11. And I do not feel tall. At all. In Scotland I'd be above average from young people my age (19). In holland I am still at least 4 inches taller than the average dutch guy my age. They are a tall race.

Lelly said on 21/Jun/13My daughter met him at manchester airport and was shocked to report she was taller than kanye, she is 5'6", she insists hes as tall as me at 5'3" !

Adam said on 21/Jun/13In one of his songs it says he is 5'7 and i dont think he would downgrade himself

LH said on 21/Jun/13His gf, Kim K, is reportedly just 5'2" tall. Clearly he is no taller than 5'8" in comparison...if that.

truth178cm said on 12/Jun/13The Dutch are not 6ft1 on average more like between 5ft11 and 6ft at best (a flat 5ft11 more likely). Stupid goddamn myths.

true said on 24/May/13def not 5'8, looks about 5'7 here a pic of him in loafersClick Here

Sean said on 17/May/13@wooderson she was obviously wearing high heels, models tend to wear them you know lol

Juicey said on 6/May/135'7 -5''7 1/2 guy 5'8 a little bit generous

leonari said on 1/May/13Nothing below 171,5 and probably very close to 173 on a regular day.

Pothead said on 29/Apr/13I am between 5'6.25" and 5'6.5" and with certain dress shoes I am easily 5'8" or 5'8.5". With cowboy boots (2.5- 3 inch heels) I am easily 5'9". So...basically...add 2.5 inches to your barefoot height to get your "hollywood" height. Image is everything.

truth said on 27/Mar/13No way 5'10" I ran into him coming out of the 86th/Lex station a few months before Through the Wire was released. I have a good friend who is 5'5" isn and he is somewhere between 5'5" and 5'7"

gsbr said on 25/Mar/13He's taller than Mike Myers. So unless Myers is under 5'7", West is 5'8".

wooderson said on 2/Feb/13there is no way he is 173, i saw a photo with him and miranda kerr where she is about 3 inches taller than him, he is about 5'6"

someguy said on 30/Jan/13Rob, i don't get why Kanye is being oversized at 5'8 when in his own song "American Boy" it says he's 5'7? A change maybe?

Mikey T said on 19/Jan/13He looks 5'8" next to 5'6" Ellen Degeneres. But he could be wearing lifts.

Mathew said on 9/Jan/13Rob, in his song with singer Estelle she sings "I just met this 5 foot 7 guy who's just my type"(which you can infer, is supposed to be Kanye.) He really doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would okay the lyric short changing his stature by a full inch if he was a solid 5'8". I think he could be 5'7" or 5'7" and some change.

realgame said on 15/Nov/12Way too high. Maybe celebs are calling them to fix there heights so it says there taller there really is. Big Sean is only 5'6 and Kanye is no taller than him so maybe 5'7 at the most. Jay-Z dwarfed Ye at the B.E.T awards. The same way Puffy dwarfed Nelly when they accepted the award for shake ya tailfeather. Aint nothing wrong wit being short i love short people. We all the same to me.

Omari said on 10/Nov/12Nah, 173 is very accurate, my mom is kim kardashians height and when she wears heels she's the same height as kim in heels, and im 173 too,and when i look at pictures of them together with kim wearing them it's the same height difference.

Cingetorix said on 14/Sep/12No way is this guy 5-8 legit. He's an egomaniac so 5'8 in lifts maybe. 5'6/5'7 max barefoot.

SolidSnake said on 6/Sep/12He has over 5million twitter followers and the ONLY person he follows is kim k. besides that he is a great rapper but yeh 5-8 sounds good as fits with Jay Z listing as well

johnnyfive said on 28/Aug/12In the picture with Jay-Z from Meatspin, if Jay is the 6'2 listed, Kanye doesn't look any taller than 5'6 or 5'6 and a half tops! A 5'8 dude would look short but not like a dwarf next to a 6'2 dude. My verdict for Kanye is 5'6.

Bran said on 17/Aug/12I have a photo of him next to a lambo and 5'8" is laughable. He is more like 5'5" or 5'6".

the shredder said on 27/Nov/11Dislike him but needs an upgrade 5'8.5 minimum .

Tanya said on 27/Nov/11I love Kanye West! I think saw him up close tonight and i think 5'8 is acurate in comparisson to him next to jay z

Silent d said on 20/Nov/11He has the same shoe size as the rock. You are kidding me. I know why girls like him now. I don't see him shorter than 174cm. He is short but i don't think 5 foot 6 like some people say. He stands his ground next to 6 foot 1 jay z.

Albert said on 12/Nov/11Just so you guys know, Kanye doesn't have small feet; he actually wears size 12 shoes. His Nike Air Yeezy's (The sneaker famously worn during his Grammy performance with Daft Punk) were put on auction.
Here is the link:Click Here

Silent d said on 9/Nov/11He is 5 foot 8 and a bit but i remember he was slightly taller than usher.He was about 8cm shorter than 182cm 50 cent. He always looked that height. In that song with pamela anderson a couple of inches taller and she had huge heels on.

sam said on 6/Nov/11Peanut - yes I agree he's shorter than he claims, not quite 5'9. But definitely not as short as 5'7. I think your overblown ego may be skewing your estimate somewhat.

Nathan said on 10/Sep/11In his song with Estelle she says: I just met a 5 foot 7 guy who's just my type.' so he's around 5'7 to 5'9

Toby said on 9/Sep/11Small feet and short neck are not accurate ways of judging someones height.

Peanut said on 6/Sep/11I am one of the nude models that did his listening party for the album 808 and heartbreaks and flat-footed I am 5'81/2 and I get measured for EVERY go-see i go on and when i stood next to Kanye flat footed I was a good inch inch and a half taller than him and he had on shoes. I would not give him anything taller than 5'7. Which means Amber is NOT 5'8...

height guy said on 30/Aug/11He's 5'8" or shorter. His body does not match a guy 5'9" or taller. He has a small frame, small feet, short arms, short legs, and very short neck. 5'8" max or pigs fly.

Kane said on 7/Aug/11Lol! Some guys of you show photos where Kanye is as big as another star (Neyo, Lil-Wayne), but that´s no proof! Because you don´t know what shoes he weard that day!!!! And Xmootje is right:

"he is 5 7 it is obvious just listen to the lyrics he wrote himself in american boy with estelle ,' I just met this 5 foot 7 guy he s just my type "

May W Weather said on 16/Jul/11Kanye West Next To jay Z , He Looks A Good 5'9"
Sometimes he May Look 5'10 With Lifts

runt said on 14/Jun/11Recently seen sharing a passionate kiss with Mary-Kate Olsen. Maybe his long quest to find a chick shorter than him has finally ended.

the shredder said on 31/May/11The 5'7 is just lyrics ... His body looks average ... If he is that height then he wears lifts .

Dean 5'9.25 said on 30/May/11@ everyone - the song where estelle goes "5 foot 7 guy whoes just my type" thats just because se-ven has 2 sylables..try singing it to 5 six or 5 eight or any other it dont work..I personlly thought he looked an under average guy but not short..173-175 kinda range..174 probably Id say.

the shredder said on 28/May/11Exactly ... 5'8 next to her IN HEELS , she'd be over 6 foot in heels ... This guy is taller then every 5'8 guy in pics ... Lifts or 5'9 ish .

Viper said on 28/May/11Shredder is a parody

real height said on 26/May/11Kanye West is 173,compare with swift who is 5 10'(also wear killer heel)at 2009 VMA.

the shredder said on 25/May/11I dislike this guy , But NO WAY only 5'8 ... More like 5'9.5 !

Cooper said on 22/May/11i think 5'7 for this guy is a better estimate

marshall said on 24/Mar/115 feet 7 no more. and in that video with ne-yo ne yo is taller

Rika said on 9/Jun/09....I made that comment about the American boy song last week and people have just started to notice.(last week on youtube).

Anonymous said on 8/Jun/09Marcg27 says on 6/Jun/09 I think the clue is in the Estelle song "American Boy", where Kanye West raps. One of her lines goes "I've just met this 5'7 guy who's just my type!" She is on the video clearly singing bout him, who clearly is 5'7!!!

was just going to write the same thing. And if he's the same height as Glenn, do we need more proof? sounds like 5'7" is where it's at

Marcg27 said on 6/Jun/09I think the clue is in the Estelle song "American Boy", where Kanye West raps. One of her lines goes "I've just met this 5'7 guy who's just my type!" She is on the video clearly singing bout him, who clearly is 5'7!!!

josh said on 28/May/09he is around 5-7 or 5-8 because jay z completely towers over him and he is like 6-1 or 6-2.

CoolJ said on 23/May/09He's 5'7... if you recall, he was approx. the same size as Glenn, who we now know is 5'7

thisisajoke said on 7/May/09Guys, I dont want to break everyone's heart here, but I am 5'7 and was eye level with kanye back stage at his concert. Seriously, why does everyone want to pretend that he is 5'8 or 5'9? The gossip that he is shorter came about because he is. The picture above does not mean anything, you cant even see his feet.

Bo said on 1/May/09wow i figured he was at least 5'11

Paulpierce4ever said on 24/Apr/09Kanye has horrible posture in that shot, you can't make any judgments based on that shot

Andr said on 18/Apr/09Click Here jamie foxx is 5'9 on this website, he got at least 2 inches on kanye here, kanye is even standing in nearer to the camera. proves that kanye is not taller than 5'7

Andr said on 18/Apr/095'8 + in shoes, probably 5'7.5 ;) glenn is 5'7 ;) and he doesnt got lifts or any tricks like kanye

diana said on 16/Apr/09hes definitely not 5'7. i would give him 5'8.5 to be exact even in this pic with glenn its obvious hes a lil taller

Kris said on 14/Apr/09In the Song "American Boy" Estelle sings about Kanye being 5'7,,,,and he is about that,, sorry ladies,,his ego is alot higher.

sodapop said on 27/Mar/09Hes 5'8" just look at this picture its obvious. I'm 5'9.5 and hes not 5'9

Jim29 said on 17/Mar/09I have been measured at 5 ft 9 and a quater last year without shoes on, i met Kanye backstage at a concert and was standing next to him while he was talking to someone about the lights, noticed we were the same height or maybe he was slightly taller. I had my addidas trainers that have about half inch soles on, didn't check which he was wearing, i'd say hes at least 5 ft 9 with no shoes on.

Lozzer said on 6/Mar/09Looks a strong 5'8-9 here!...

Vic said on 15/Feb/09Yeah, this has to be changed for sure. The tilt of Kanye's head give him atleast a 0.5 inch advantage over Glenn.

scotty said on 13/Feb/09I think he is an honest 5'7. He is always in sneakers, no boots or lifts and he seems to be 5'7 naturally, I really doubt he is any taller.

glenn said on 6/Feb/09thanks matt.

Matt said on 4/Feb/09I would agree that he looks taller than Glenn in the picture, but then Glenn was face-to-face with him for I guess a few minutes, so I trust his judgement on this one.

Anonymous said on 31/Jan/09Looked around 5

glenn said on 26/Jan/09i agree with j.j. 100 percent.

J.J. said on 26/Jan/09This needs to be changed cos I stongly believe he is 5'8.5" you clearly see that he got 0.5" advantage in this picture & other pictures as well

TELLEM said on 13/Jan/09that rollingstone cover is a joke...there was a full body shot pic of kanye on his tip toes next to 50 cent and 50 still had him by an inch...it was in some awards show somewhere

Paddy said on 13/Jan/09On that rolling Stones cover shoot Kanye was standing on something to make him the same height as 50 so that they were eye level and the picture looked better, 5 8" - 5 8.5" is right and in the american boy song she says 5 7" because it just fits in better with the flow of the song, try putting 5 8" into the song and it doesnt flow aswell

Kanye West Fan said on 9/Jan/09I actually think Kanye maybe a bit more taller than 5 ft 8. Him and 50 Cent were in a "Rolling Stones" Magazine, and 50 cent is about 6 ft 0, Kanye only looked like an inch shorter than him.
